For your tournament Gino I think this would be a good idea. Have a 10 x 10 or 12 x 12 ring, get rid of the push out rule however you could penalize for running or stalling during the fight, as well as penalize for bull charging someone out of the ring when they are getting beat by an opponent with superior technique.
I personally feel this type of fighting should only be done in a boxing style ring, but that is because you don't have to worry about guys running so much and the action doesn't get stopped as much with going out of boundaries. But I also understand when having a tournament it is not always economically possible to have 3 oe 4 boxing rings.
